Beat the Crowds to Piz Gloria

The iconic Piz Gloria revolving restaurant structure atop the sharp snowy Schilthorn mountain peak.
Categories: Traveling | General

The summit of Schilthorn, famous for its revolving restaurant Piz Gloria featured in the James Bond movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service, offers uninterrupted panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. However, mountain weather in the Alps frequently shifts around midday, bringing cloud cover that can obscure the view.

Catch the very first cable car departing Mürren in the morning to enjoy crisp visibility and peaceful surroundings before tour groups arrive. On your way back down, make sure to stop at Birg station to walk the Thrill Walk—a transparent glass and mesh pathway clinging to the sheer rock face.
